“I made a promise to your mother, before she passed.” "And?” Bilbo prompted. “I promised your mother I would find you a husband.” “W-what?” Bilbo spluttered, pushing his tea aside as he leapt from his armchair. “I - how could you - who would I even -” “Why, Thorin Oakenshield, of course,” Gandalf answered with a far too smug smile.
Throughout the quest to reclaim Erebor, Bilbo learned to deal with the many vexing behaviours of the Dwarves. One thing he could never adapt to, however, was their belief in superstition.
Being the only hobbit under the Lonely Mountain was fine until Bilbo realized it's been months since he felt grass under his feet. When he goes looking for sunshine, Thorin assumes the worst, and the Company is tired of putting up with their King and Burglar being oblivious idiots. Miscommunication and stargazing ensue!
Thorin is unlikely to marry a dwarven princess now that Erebor is reclaimed, but that's because it's very unusual for a Crafter such as him to marry anyone at all. This causes Bilbo considerable consternation, for reasons he would rather not name.
The story behind We Three Kings, Bickering Are. Five times Thorin thought Bilbo was flirting. Five times Bilbo thought Thorin was flirting. And one time Lady Yavanna had ENOUGH
When Bilbo Baggins was born, people lined out the door of Bag End to catch a glimpse of him. His auburn curls nestle like a halo around his head and his eyes, a bright green-blue, shine brightly and charmingly. Only a few hours old, he was already winning hearts. Within the day’s end there had been numerous offers from families- offering their own children for marriage. When Thorin Oakenshield was born, they had a week-long feast to celebrate. Men and women toast to his health and happiness- they cheered to Mahal for allowing such a gift to be brought into the world. Marriages were talked about in a tactical way: long, arduous conversations about families and bloodlines following.
Bilbo, babysitter to the little monsters Fili and Kili, finds his quiet life in utter shambles when the madness of the Durin family begins to attract itself to him.
Part 1 of Babysitter!AU
A chance purchase at the market reawakens Bilbo's love and skill of painting - he will sit for hours, happily mixing colours to his heart's content. And then the requests start coming for portraits, including from the one dwarf who makes Bilbo's heart skip a beat. If it means he gets to spend evenings in Thorin's company under the guise of a reference for his painting, who is Bilbo to refuse?
Bilbo enjoys his quiet existence as a librarian and is perfectly content with living adventure only through books. He's got a nice house and a good job; if his love life is lacking a little, well, that's his own problem and he doesn't let it bother him. But then the arrival of an old family friend with a penchant for fireworks and grey clothes puts a definite spanner in the works, and Bilbo suddenly has a boyfriend and is on his way to meet the in-laws. Of course, nothing is ever easy for Bilbo Baggins.
Bilbo tries to be romantic, but he needs a little help from his friends.
